Prompt / Lyrics
[Theme: The moment you stop fighting fear on its terms.] [Intro] Bell rings… Round too many. [Verse 1] I’ve been swingin’ at shadows, missin’ my breath Tryna knock fear out with my fists and my chest Every round I say “this is the last” Then I’m back in the ring with the same old past Pride said “stand,” faith said “kneel” I ignored the second ‘cause the first felt real Thought winnin’ meant never feelin’ pain Turns out losin’ is pretendin’ I’m okay [Pre-Chorus] I don’t lose when I admit I’m tired I lose when I let fear be the driver [Chorus] So I tap out — not to life, not to hope I tap out to the lie I gotta do this alone I tap out to fear, not my fight I’m still here, I just changed sides I tap out — yeah, I drop my pride Hands up, God, this one’s mine If surrender means I live somehow Then fear, not me — you tap out [Verse 2] I chased control till it buried me Called it strength but it poisoned me I kept sayin’ “I got this, I’m fine” While my soul was fallin’ behind I don’t need to be fearless I need to be honest I don’t need perfection I need direction I’m done lettin’ guilt run the show Done lettin’ shame talk slick like it knows I ain’t weak for askin’ for help I was weak tryin’ to save myself [Chorus] So I tap out — not to life, not to hope I tap out to the lie I gotta do this alone I tap out to fear, not my fight I’m still here, I just changed sides I tap out — yeah, I drop my pride Hands up, God, this one’s mine If surrender means I live somehow Then fear, not me — you tap out [Bridge] You can have the rounds I lost You can’t have my future I’m still breathin’ — count that off [Final Chorus] I tap out of self-destruction Tap into grace, into somethin’ I don’t quit — I realign I don’t fold — I redefine Fear thought I was done somehow But I didn’t quit — I tapped out [Outro] Different move. Same fight. New control.
